  • Essay / Romeo and Juliet - 2868

    Physical separation is a powerful obstacle sometimes faced by those bound to one another by love. This causes intense emotional pain and can hinder any relationship in which true love is at the core. Shakespeare's Sonnet 56 involved two lovers who experienced physical separation as a stumbling block in their kinship. The “sad interim” that the lovers undergo makes the intensity of their love disappear. As their love quickly faded, both longed for "sweet love" to "renew your strength." They wanted their love for each other to be “rougher than appetite, / Which is only appeased today by nourishment, / Tomorrow sharpened in its former power.” They wanted a love like hunger, which constantly returned and needed to be satisfied. However, because of their separation, the people's "spirit of love" had become "a perpetual boredom." The “hungry eyes” of their love “winked with fullness” and had lost their power and strength. To repair the love that had died out, the lovers wanted to “come every day to the shore” of the ocean so that the “return of love” would come to their relationship, and they wanted “this sad interim” to be “winter”. , who being full of care / Makes the welcome of summer three times more desired. Sonnet 56 was a sad story in which separation made the love of two people dull and boring. The obstacle of separation was also evident in the relationship between Hero and Claudio found in the play Much Ado About Nothing. At the beginning of the play, Don Pedro and some of his men returned to Messina after fighting in the war. One of the men Don Pedro brought with him was young Claudio. Claudio was highly respected in Don Pedro's eyes and had exceptional war performance...... middle of paper ...... (RJ 3. 5. 197). Juliet was so disgusted by the idea of ​​marrying Paris that she preferred “to make the nuptial bed / In this dark monument where Tybalt rests” (RJ 3. 5. 212-213). Desperate to prevent the marriage, Juliet went “to the brother to know his remedy” (RJ 3. 5. 254). She told this brother that she “longs to die / If what you say does not speak of a remedy” (RJ 3. 5. 67-68). The Friar provided Juliet with a poison that would cause "the roses of [her] lips and cheeks to fade / until they turn to ashes, the windows of [her] eyes fall / as when he does silence the day of life” (RJ 4.1. 101-103). Although Paris was taken by Juliette, Juliette had no desire to marry Paris. Their love was completely one-sided. Paris desired Juliette's love but Juliette did not give her this love in return. The obstacle of non-mutual love will prevent any relationship from succeeding.
